Capitalism will lead to wealth inequality even apart from cronyism.
Yet in general it makes a populace who tries it, more fat, and grants a life of more pleasure, than any of its counterparts.
This itself might be bad for a nation though.
First you get a bunch of people in government who think they should get a percentage of that wealth made by the merchants (just like the feudal lords of old)
Second, the nation becomes so wealthy it has to just keep consuming more and more, and at some point people start having to come up with insane ideas, and gladiator sports, and just become a bunch of addicts because life has no purpose and is too easy.
I think I’m personally ready for some socialist/communist policies so people in my country can experience some actual suffering, and maybe even go hungry, and then at least they will stop talking about the pointless crap they always go on about it.
